I want to have a democratic sandbox free of prejudice, so if you're my friend you will get no special treatment or privileges in my decisions. I have been here long enough to see the flaws of the system and I want to put a stop to it.
If you want to apply all you have to do is PM me or post:

I will try to be as fair as possible and give chances to people who convince me they will do good for this lobby.
However, if you prove to be unfit as a moderator you will be removed and will not be considered again.
As a veteran of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, among other offices I've held, I've had decades of experience in dealing with two parties at each others throats, often over issues where though there is common ground, it is lost in the fog of partisanship. Despite roadblocks such as these, over those decades of politicking, I have rarely if ever changed course on what I promised my constituents time and time again that they elect me. This dedication to my core principals and beliefs that which resonate with the people here is what separates me from other people in power, as I will strive through thick and thin to fight for what I believe in. This will be no different than what I would bring to the table as a moderator of this site.

I have had decades of experience in the federal government of the United States, in particular, I have served as the Mayor of Burlington for 8 years, as the Congressman for Vermont for 16 years, and I have been a Senator for Vermont since 2007. I believe my decades of organizational experience will be beneficial to the running of this site along with the team of helpful and supportive moderating peers. I believe the people here are fed up with how things are run, fed up with skyrocketing rates of abuse, a shrinking player base, and corruption in the moderation team that beckons to their Wall Street ties. I am none of those things because I'm just like you, and I will always fight for you.

Every morning I take the tram to D.C. after getting my cup of coffee from the Dunk N' Donuts near the station. On the way to Congress, even as a grandparent, even as a Presidential candidate, and even as a Senator of the great state of Vermont, I take those few precious moments of free time to browse Epicmafia, and to engage with the community in a few games here and there.

It varies as I am campaigning across the country. In the near future I will be in South Carolina which is the EST.
Personally, It's always been an aspiration of mine. I've seen many instances of pedophilia, harassment, and racist remarks (in a non-joking, hateful manner) go completely disregarded, and it sickens me, it really does.
Why would you make a good moderator?
I personally consider myself to be a very kind, and accepting person. I am nice to all, always giving the benefit of the doubt, and never holding grudges. However, I would not make any rash decisions. I would approach others about a situation, if one were to ever occur, and choose the best course of action, based on how I feel & what other mods think.
How active are you on EpicMafia?
I log on whenever I have the opportunity to. I don't have my own computer at home, but if I ever visit family I will use a computer there. If needs be, I can log on through mobile.
Why do you want to be a moderator? Because I've never been a mod before and I don't really understand why I want to be one. The only good mod is a confused mod.
Why would you make a good moderator? Not prejudice and I actually disapprove of fanboism, plus i dislike mods because they are mod. Selfhate is best hate.
How active are you on epicmafia? Pretty active lately.
A little update: After reading all of your entries I've come to the conclusion that it's practically impossible to hand pick a team of mods based on the applications alone. I've therefore decided to make a rotation system of all serious entries which will serve to test the applicants and see who will be most suitable in terms of timezones, fairness and decision making. I realize this might be a little messy at first, but after everyone gets their chance we should have a nice stable team. More info about the rotation order will come soon so stay tuned!
Why do you want to be a moderator? Because I love Sandbox and the people in it and I'd like to make sure people continue enjoy using it. I want gardenbox to be successful because I and most other users are sick of the owner changing every other day.
Why would you make a good moderator? Because I have experience moderating forums and online games but on a MUCH SMALLER scale. I host and co-host a Big Brother and Survivor ORG. I'm not involved in site politics which I feel makes me as unbiased as possible to deal with reports.
How active are you on epicmafia? I'm active every day.

Hello, I'm Gudetama. Why do you want to be a moderator? I really wish to restore Epicmafia back to a peaceful environment and to make people feel equally welcome and comfortable to join in on the community..
Why would you make a good moderator? I'm patient, eggcelent with people, respectful; and Open-Minded to ideas, or changes in concepts.
How active are you on epicmafia? I'm active everyday, for 5 years.
Your application is so lacking that I opted simply to write out why I would make an excellent moderator.
There is nobody better at moderation than me. I have extensive experience moderating. Your application terms clearly show that you do not know how to moderate as well as I do because you do not ask critical questions like "how hard would you moderate ISIS," the answer to which in my case is "I would moderate ISIS balls-deep without any lubricant because my moderation rod is already scarred and scabby from the chafing caused by my extensive expertise moderating." It's obvious that you would benefit from my moderation by your lack of understanding of the true concept of moderation.
Under my moderation, there will be a chicken in every pot and a smile on every gleaming child's face. We will enter a golden age of moderation, where those who oppose the moderation state will be brutally moderated.
The trick to moderating properly is to slant your judgement in the favor of your popular friends. That way, they will all come to your defense if you are ever called out by one of your victims. I will be so corrupt as a moderator that the ONLY way for me not to ban you from the lobby is to consistently brown-nose me. Under me, this lobby will become nothing but an altar to how excellent a moderator I am. If anyone says otherwise, they will be quickly and efficiently moderated.
